Fun Facts

Explanations

The page title, "20/200", is the visual acuity measurement used as the threshold for legal blindness.

The eye chart held up by Homestar is known as a "Tumbling E" chart. This form of vision chart is used by optometrists and ophthalmologists on patients who are illiterate, or those children who are too young to read but old enough to speak (preliterate); the patient can tell the doctor which direction the prongs of the Es are facing, rather than needing to recognize letters.

When the glasses are put on, Homestar's shirt logos are still blurred because logos, trademarked designs, and certain words on clothing are often obscured by the producers of visual media (usually television or music videos) when they don't want the logos, designs, or words visible in the final product, often to avoid having to pay to display the logo.

Hidden in the Flash File is: "go get!" "no way." This may be a deleted bulletin displayed before the Main Page about the higher Flash requirement.

Remarks

By using the Store button after selecting a button which triggers an animation (or by using the main page glitch), you can watch the scene unblurred.

The main page has been redesigned slightly:

The buttons have a new, shinier look.

There is a little more space in the center.

The colors on the striped sides are darker and their gradient is more prominent.

Glitches

Main Page 24 does not function correctly on web browsers with Adobe Flash Player 7 or lower installed. The text on the links on the left side of the screen is missing, and the links are not clickable. The links also do not produce the roll-over effects. The Main Page selection in the bottom left-hand corner is missing entirely and all of the buttons on the top right-hand corner are missing. Homestar also lacks the star on his shirt, and the blur effects are not visible (but the page is slightly faded). Strong Bad shows up legless.

Other times, the whole page will turn slightly darker, Homestar will not talk or move, and neither Strong Bad nor Strong Sad will appear.

If any of the buttons on the left side are clicked while in this state, you will be redirected to an "Adobe Flash version upgrade" page.
